Mr. Newfield,

I have to tell you how impressed and pleased that I am with the work of Laura West and your company on my resume. She not only was very thorough but is just a super person to work with. You are quite fortunate to have such a great person in your employ. Too often, we aren’t told how well we do or how valuable we are, please take this time to let her know what an asset she is to your organization. You can bet that I will be recommending your company to my associates in the future. Thanks again for your personal attention and assigning a very talented writer to my project!

Sincerely,

Cathleen Voss

Denise,

There are no changes to be made. I think you have done an outstanding job and I am quite pleased. Andrew has listed my resume on flipdog and headhunter. Hopefully, we will get some responses. I can’t see why we wouldn’t, even I am impressed with what I have accomplished. Thanks a ton for all of your hard work!

Karen

I would like to thank you for the excellent work and professionalism! I also appreciate the effort and the help.

Hi Lynn,

What a week to be thinking about resumes and cover letters, but life does go on.

I wanted to let you know I reviewed the cover letter and found it be absolutely great! Thank you for your assistance and work on my resume and cover letter. Also, I am going to take advantage of the resume distribution list provided by Career Resumes. Now that I have all the pieces together and have been studying all the information available on interviewing and negotiating, I am in full search-mode. It’s been a long time since I have been actively in the job market and it’s rather intimidating.

Again, thank you for your help and experience in resume writing.

Best Regards,

Cheri Derryberry

Hello Denise,

I am very pleased with your interpretation of my skills, strengths and experience. I am amazed at how well you were able to capture my personality as well as my career aspirations merely through reading the questionnaire. Many friends and colleagues have expressed to me that while my intelligence and wide knowledge are quite amazing, the quality that they most appreciate about me is my engaging personality andability to see humor even when faced withthe most stressful situations. As you can see, I have just found 2 corrections to be made. I am looking forward to receiving the final product and start putting it to use. I have great confidence that this resume will get me job offers quickly.

My very best regards,

Patty

Everything looks awesome, and I am very pleased. Please call this the final and post it. Last night I went to a job fair and took the last rough you sent me as my resume. You’re right about the three page being the best, I saw a lot of people taking their time to look everything over, and the awards section really caught their attention. Thank-you very much.

David,

I am amazed at what you have written. It fits me perfectly. I cannot express how pleased I am. I do wish to speak with you next week concerning what ideas you may have for doing an email campaign. I understand from Jane that you would be just the right person for me to discuss with my job search options. Thank you very much.

Peter:

I just wanted to say thanks for all of Kelley Smith’s help in rewriting my resume. I had always thought that my old resume was great. But after Kelley rewrote my resume, I can now see that my old resume was nothing more than average. I am confident my new resume will jump start my job search. Kelley did an outstanding job!

Dear Mr. Newfield,

I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with Jane Quick & Kelley Smith, with respect to my resume rewrite. I tried several “free resume critique” services, and Jane Quick provided the most value-added, insightful comments, thus I selected career-resumes.com to prepare my new resume.

I have been working with Kelley Smith on the new resume, and am very pleased with her work. After receiving the first draft on Monday, I forwarded it out to some colleagues for their input. I was quite pleased when a PwC colleague called in from Germany to tell me how great the new resume is and what an impact it made on him. This from a man who, when he saw my personally-prepared resume a few weeks ago, said “its doesn’t do anything for me”! Kelley has done a great job with the new resume!

I have recommended Jane and Kelley to a number of colleagues in the past couple of weeks, and learned that at least one colleague selected career-resumes.com to write his new resume. Many thanks for such a great service!

Best regards,

Karen Donovan

I am fine with the document as you have drafted it, thanks for doing such a great job. I have used it several times now with great results. I am on the slate for three great jobs, one in Paris France, one here in SF and one in the Mid west. All are great opportunities. Your help came in the nick of time! Several of the Search Firms commented on the quality of the Resume.

Ray S.

Dear Denise:

Thank you so much for my final resume! It is so different and tremendously improved from my original resume. Wow! Its great! You’ve managed to list my experiences and qualifications in such a way that properly conveys my true abilities. I’ve done many resumes since college but nothing ever came close to this. I can only imagine where I’d be today if I had this kind of resume 15 years ago! The resume you have done for me is one of my main ingredients for my new career. I am very impressed and quite honestly, also very intimidated by my own new resume.

I must admit that I dreaded having to complete yet another questionnaire especially one as detailed and lengthy as the one(s) from Career-Resumes. But, it was worth it! Denise, you are certainly gifted in what you do! Thanks again and I’ll keep you posted on my job search!

Warmest Regards,

David W., St. Hilaire

I have reviewed the resume and have a few small comments. I was extremely impressed with the quality of your work! You got a lot on three pages and capture who I feel I am. I will call you this evening to discuss, thanks for the great work.

R.S.

Dear Peter,

Donna Allen provided me with a first draft of my resume yesterday. I wanted you to know that I was extremely pleased with the quality of her work. While we still have a few adjustment
to make, I have no doubt that it will be a high quality, polished piece of work- just like you promised on our first call.

R.S.

Denise,

I have looked over it here rather quickly, the only thing that I saw that needed to be changed was under Professional Experience was the Arizona changed to Arkansas. I will look it over in detail this afternoon, but from what I see so far, I definetily would like you to write me a cover letter. I am really happy with what I see so far. Go ahead and do the cover letter, and I will let you know if I see anything or have any questions on the resume. Again, I want to thank you very much, I wished I would have known about your company sooner. Let me know when you have the cover letter.

Thank you,

C.S.

Dear Rosie,

Thank you very much for your e-mail. I am very happy, I got the job with Disney. I received several compliments for my resume. Thank you very much for all your help. I am very satisfy with your job.

Best Regards!

Jane,

This is to verify receipt of your worksheets and communications.

They are already helping me to focus some thoughts. I enjoyed our conversation, and I would like to thank you for being prompt and especially for your encouraging and useful remarks. You cannot know how much hope is put forth, when someone offers to help after rejection. I honestly had no idea how muchsearching for a postion had become so sophisticated &out of touch. This is difficult to admit for someone who is in trend work! Thank you very much for your time. I think you are well suited for your profession.

Sincerely,

B. H.

Terri:

WELL you are not going to believe this. I just got a call from a recruiter in LA who is doing a search for a major Japanese company in the PC business. I sent him my new resume over the weekend and here he is! They are interviewing now and are seeking a VP of Manufacturing in Southern CA. Range starts at $150K with bonuses, perks and such. Now if this keeps up it is a very sound testament to your skills in writing and presenting. I was completely surprised to get a call this fast. It appears this was what was missing many months ago when the silence was deafening. The lady is a PRO for sure!

Herb

Hi Donna,

I promised I’d let you know when I found a job. Well I have finally landed! I am now the national housing manager for the travel division of StarMed, a nursing staffing company. It is a great job! The job market is tough right now, but I feel my resume brought me more opportunities.

Thank you again for a great resume, and I will recommend you to others in the future.

Dotti F.

Dear Denise,

My resume and cover letter are awesome! I just faxed them over to a doctor’s office to become his medical administrator and he called about 5 minutes after I sent it. It is very important that you know that I already sent my old resume over there two weeks ago and never even got a phone call. My interview is Thursday morning. Thank you so much for everything!! I would recommend you to everyone and anyone!!!!

Sincerely,

Jennifer S.

Wow, what a writer! How long have you been doing this?

As I read and re-read your letter, the value of having you write the resume AND accompanying letter popped into my head. First, you can step back mentally, assess my career accomplishments and my skills from a distance, and then summarize from the general to the specific (something I and other job seekers find hard to do).Second, you can condense the information into a powerful, persuasive and readable document. (You also remind me how my writing skills have declined since graduate school!)

I love it. I didn’t make any changes in theletter itself, but filled in salary information and that I am NOT open to re-location in the supplemental paragraphs.

Thanks for your excellent work, Jeanie. I enjoyed working with you and expect my telephone to ring off the hook after recruiters and employers see these documents…and, if they don’t, I know how to find you!

Hi Denise,

I have reviewed the resume. I am impressed..For once someone was able to put into writing what a person in the emergency service field does. I had my resume done 2x in the past by professional companies. Needless to say they were not that good. At the time I thought they were great but now looking at this …I am grateful.

Go ahead write away a cover letter..I could only imagine.

Thank you again.

Tom L.

Terri,

I want to thank you for all the work that you do, I have gotten several great comments on my resumes over the years. You are the BEST! This one looks great! Thank you.

Dale

WOW, TERRI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU.

It’s on its way to CEO friends for review and comment. After I make any minor changes, would you be the person to create the ASCII Text version? I will need one. Please go ahead and write the cover letter.

My secretary service will handle the printing issues. I would like a little more first hand information about the PACKAGE TWO EXECUTIVE DATABASES. Should I call Peter?

Walter

Dear Denise

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the wonderful resume. I just landed the job I have been looking for and was complimented many times on the content and layout of the resume. Thank you very much!!!

Sincerely

Bob Czajka

Denise,

Both the resume and cover letter look great. Thank you for you hard work. Its been a pleasure doing business with you and your company.

Thanks again

Hi Terri,

Just who is that woman? Wow!

So that’s why I could never do that…we’re talking about me? Funny isn’t it. One either gets tongue-tied and meek or boastful and self-aggrandizing when approaching this formidable task. A CV was much easier for me to create… so cut and dried, without extrapolation to merits.

Is there a time limit to when a decision about any of those packages must be started? I probably need to research the potential of actually finding positions open for someone such as me. I don’t know the need for someone with my background for some of those companies, but I suspect it is pretty slim.

I am interested in a quote to create a scannable version. I had no trouble with the format since I have experience with page set up. I have the paper that I want to use here so I’ve got that covered.

You did a spectacular job and I’d like some of your business cards so other people I network with can have access to your expertise.

Best Regards,

Marilyn

Dear Peter,

Your organization fortunately gave Sherri Morgan the task of drafting my resume and cover letter. Sherri is, in my opinion, superstar. This isn’t about getting responses to the resume. I’ve just gotten started sending it out. This is about a perfect stranger understanding who I am, what I am seeking in terms of a second career. This is about Sherri, who was caring, considerate, articulate, and patient, yes, very patient. No matter what questions I had, she answered them. She thoughtfully reviewed my comments on both the resume and cover letter and incorporated them with no hints of any pride of authorship or feeling that she was the professional, I was not. More importantly, her work is of the highest quality. So, in summary, Sherri has all the attributes of a professional I would like for my staff. Here’s the clincher – should, for some reason, I not get a response to the resume in 30 days, I would look forward to working with her again.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey K.

Hey Rosie!

It looks awesome! Thank you so much for getting this to me early. I hope you will get some referral business b/c a lot of my co-workers were really impressed! I made a few changes after consulting w/ some co-workers and old managers. If any of my changes look bizarre, please change them accordingly! I’m gonna attach my changes! Thanks again!

Jennifer

Well, I am impressed, I thought I had a fine command of the written word. I have made one change on one word, noted in blue. I changed “bill” to “build.” Please feel free to bill my credit card for the balance at this time, and let me know of any next steps. Also, you will receive a call from a friend/colleague, Steve M. I have given you a high recommendation.

Thanks,

Liam

Peter,

Just a quick word of thanks for the resume project. I believe the finish product turned out fantastic. Kelley Smith is an excellent writer and a pleasure to work with.

Thanks again,

Sincerely,

David T.

Denise,

Great Job, though I’m not surprised. Worth the wait and all the suffering with this small CPA who’s abused me all through tax season. Might even have to take him to the Dept. of labor for the 90+ hours of o/t he owes me. Your thoroughness should free me from such undeserved pettiness. Will need to go over a few minor details. Don’t expect any big change. What impressed me the most was how you put together such a fine package and without even mentioning my best skill. I think I must have mentioned ProSystem fx for Windows a few times, the tax software package I feel I’ve spent my life on. To my credit I guess that I get a full 2 page resume as good as I’ve seen in the resume books at Barnes and Nobles and without my best software skill program on it. As to the cover letter, I have one but I’ll look it over. What I’m more in need of is coaching through the job search, interview process, negotiating, sending out the resume on line and where to send. I have an extensive list of contacts I’ve been saving, but this resume is so good I need to consider how I market it and to whom I market it.

Jim E.

GREAT JOB DONNA!

I am very pleased with the results!I have one change that is my error. I told you the software was Act 4. It is in fact Act 4.0 for Windows. You will see the change in red. Please make the corrections so that I may archive the corrected document with you, and please forward the completed final document to me.Thank you so much for youroutstanding contribution to my career. I truly appreciate what it takes to complete a project such as this. I am certain as a result of your effort, that I will land an opportunity that will make me happy. When I land this position, I will email you to let you know. Again, thank you so much and it was a pleasure working with you.

Sincerely,

Dotti Fortune
